A question remains regarding differential effects of exposure-based vs. non-exposure-based therapies on specific PTSD symptom clusters. Traumatized emergency room patients were randomized to receive prolonged exposure (PE) or cognitive therapy (CT) without exposure. PE/CT had no differential effect on individual symptom clusters, and change in total PTSD score remained significant even after controlling for the reductions in all 3 symptom clusters. In addition, baseline levels of PTSD avoidance/intrusion/hyper-arousal did not moderate the effects of PE and CT on total PTSD symptom scores. Taken together, these findings challenge the notion that PE and CT are specifically, and differentially, useful in treating one particular PTSD symptom cluster.
